Performed by Levon Helm on Electric Dirt
Written by Larry Campbell
[Am]Early in the morning, when the church bells toll
The choir's gonna sing, and the hearse will [E7]roll
On down to the g[Am]raveyard, where it's cold and gray
And then the [C]sun's gonna shine through the [G]shadows when [D]I go a[Am]way
[Am]Don't want no sorrow, for this old orphan boy
I don't want no crying, only tears of [E7]joy
I'm gonna see my [Am]mother, gonna see my father
And I'll be b[C]ound for glory in the [G]morning when [D]I go a[Am]way
[G]I'll be lifted up to the clouds on the wings of [Am]angels
[G]There's only flesh and bones in the ground where my troubles will [E7]stay
See that storm over [Am]yonder, it's gonna rain all day
But then the [C]sun's gonna shine through the [G]shadows when [D]I go a[Am]way
Bridge:
[Am](I'm going home - Lift me up) When I go away
(I'm going home - Lift me up) No more crying
(I'm going home - Lift me up) No more trials
(I'm going home - Lift me up) Home to leave my worries in the ground
Home to leave my worries in the graveyard
Home to leave my troubles in the graveyard
Home to leave my trials
And I'll be [C]bound for glory in the [G]morning when [D]I go a[Am]way
[Am]All my kin who love me, all my friends who care
Look beyond the dark clouds we're gonna meet up [E7]there
When they lay me in the [Am]cold ground, bow your heads and pray
And I'll be [C]bound for glory in the [G]morning when [D]I go a[Am]way
And then the [C]sun's gonna shine through the [G]shadows when [D]I go a[Am]way
Bridge:
And I'll be [C]bound for glory in the [G]morning when [D]I go a[Am]way
